Roaming around in Sydney today I couldn’t help but notice the multitudes of smokers everywhere. There was nowhere I could hide from the digusting smoke flowing from everyones mouths and nostrils. Normally I don’t really care what smokers do to their own bodies. If they want to inhale all that horrible stuff, go for it. [...]

Hey everyone!  Hope everyone is having fun working, playing and everything else you are doing. I’ve been running into some issues going to this blog and it coming up with an error. If anyone else runs into this problem can you email me at ross.collicutt[at]gmail[dot]com, facebook me, or leave a comment? I’m not sure what [...]

Having spent a big chunk of my time driving after Adelaide, I can tell you that Australia is a big place. I knew that buying a car and seeing all the sights on my own meant there would be a fair amount of driving. No one can really tell you what driving in a place [...]

After doing some reading and talking to people here, one of the last things I really wanted to do here was run “the Tan”. It’s a 3.8 kilometer track around the Royal Botanic Gardens across the river from the MCG towards St. Kilda. I had ran from the hostel one of the first days I [...]

After taking a ride around on the City Circle tram to see a bit of the sights in Melbourne, I found out about the free bus that goes around the city as well. This would be a little bit more comfortable and would go further than the tram. Trams are a decent way to get [...]

Apologies on the latest updates. The internet at the hostel is decent but incredibly slow at uploading photos so I’ve just been putting them off for the moment. The new posts will get photos as I find some good internet and put the rest of my photos up!

I definitely feel like I’ve grown up in a pretty small town when I come to Melbourne and the tall buildings impress me. It feels like Vancouver but bigger. There’s an older feel to it though. There are some older churches and other buildings scattered throughout the new high rises. From the Federation Square I [...]

The Saturday after we got back from Kosciuszko, I headed into Queanbeyan and picked up some maps and a camping guide for Australia. Normally I’m all for doing everything online but being on the road lately and not wanting to pay for internet has definitely put a crimp in my online style.  Most of the [...]

I stayed in Canberra for a few days and then it was time to see Kosciuszko. I had never heard of the mountain before doing some research on Australia and thought it was a cool idea to go hike the tallest mountain there.I had no idea what the weather would be like and how much [...]

Canberra is a very beautiful city. The parliament buildings are in the center, to one side of the man-made lake Burley Griffin. Across the water from Parliament Buildings is the Anzac parade and the Australian War Museum. The War Museum is a beautiful building in itself. It has a massive amount of Australian war history in [...]
